Posted onAugust 27, 2010|Comments Off on Play the Moment wants you away from that keyboard

I know I’m not the only one who spends too much time on Facebook, so lots of you may be interested in Play the Moment’s round of discussions next weekend, all of which are devoted to how Facebook interacts with our lives in the arts.

As a precursor to a show called Project F (F stands for Facebook), which is now scheduled for January 2011, Play the Moment is presenting a trio of programs about Orlando artists and creative types and, not so incidentally, how they relate to Facebook. The results will go into the making of Project F.

If you’re on the fence about showing, heed the promise that there will be free wine.

Here’s the full story:
